Guest GW Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I have lost all sound twice now in the last two months. I did the fix below both times and it worked. Does anyone know why I have to keep doing this? Thanks On the System Properties panel, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button, under the User variables click New and create a variable named devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices with the value of 1. Open the Device Manager and select Show hidden devices from the View menu. Under the Sound, video and game controllers group, find your sound card(s) and disable it/them (don’t need to uninstall). Then uninstall the following devices: Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver Select Scan for hardware changes from the Action menu. Now the system should redetect and reinstall the deleted devices automatically. You may get non signed driver warnings, click continue. Enable the devices you disabled in step 4. You may need to restart the computer. The problem should be disappeared, you should be able to play sounds.

Does anyone know why I have to keep doing this? I had a VERY similiar problem a few months ago. But it was with my NIC. Every three weeks or so I'd have to delete it and then let win redetect it again. I got a new NIC and problem solved. -- http://www.bootdisk.com/

NO Sound Resolution - Kernel System Audio You have used the correct drivers from your manufacturer, and NOT winupdate? If you have recently updated the driver, and the problem appeared after this update, roll back the driver "GW" <GW@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9DF57278-F77D-4804-9945-E08168B79A70@microsoft.com... > This keeps happening to this computer.

Guest GW Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: Help! NO Sound Resolution - Kernel System Audio Re: Help! NO Sound Resolution - Kernel System Audio No, have not touched the driver. It's the same one from 2001. If you go out and search for an update, there is not one. ?
